    Lovely place! We had good food and good service from lovely staff. It’s very noisy though so not for those wanting a peaceful meal but we will definitely be back!

    General pub fayre like burgers and half a chicken with a small taps/dim sum type offering. Everything was done well but wasn't "special", hence the not outstanding. Convenient location, attentive staff.

    Food was great, however my friend ordered an expresso. The amount just about came up to the bottom of the handle. Not worth the price

    Waiter was trying and would need to be prompted for specific utensils appropriate for the meals ordered and where honey was missing from the pot of ginger and honey tea. His saving grace was that he was honest and alert to bring our mobile phone to us outside when I mistakenly left it at the dining table. Although the opulent restaurant is established at a convenient location in Central London, it is sadly surrounded by construction, beggars and poor lighting. Meals were not genuinely tasty or could be justified as authentic ingredients and high international standards. Generally found the meals were overpriced, Drinks were good
    The SoakResponded on 30 October 2024
    Dear Hanesh, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback with us! I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed our drink offerings and appreciated the attentiveness of my team, especially in ensuring your lost item was safely returned. I am sorry for the oversights regarding utensil provision and missing ingredients, as well as any disruptions caused by the surrounding area’s external conditions. Your comments on the flavours and value of our dishes are also invaluable, and we will be discussing them with our culinary team to ensure we meet the highest standards of quality and authenticity in every dish. Your input helps us improve, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with an enhanced dining experience on your next visit. many thanks, Karen L.

    I booked a table pre theatre trip for my mums 70th birthday. When booking I let them know this in the comments box. When we arrived they had put balloons on the table and at the end of the meal came over to sing happy birthday with a dessert and sparkler. It was a lovely touch without being asked to do this. Food was lovely with a good selection to choose from, great service from all the staff including front of house.
    The SoakResponded on 25 September 2024
    Dear Melanie, Thank you for sharing such a heart warming review! I am absolutely delighted that we could be part of your mum's 70th birthday celebration and that the little touches like the balloons and birthday dessert added to your special occasion. It's always a pleasure to surprise our guests, and I am so happy that you enjoyed the food and service from my team, including front of house. We all hope to welcome you back soon for another memorable visit, whether it’s for a special celebration or just a lovely meal. many thanks, Karen Lee

    Such a shame we was told there would be live music on Thursdays, hence why we booked a Thursday! But apparently that isn’t the case! The service wasn’t great, drinks took a long time to come, and to clear our table from started and mains took ages as it seemed like no one wanted to be the ones to clear it! The atmosphere was very quiet.

    Pleasant discovery so close to Victoria station. Good ambience, tables well separated and private. Service was very good - sharp, attentive and polite. Food - good wide ranging menu - all dishes delivered were very good and competent, if not wow, and food well presented. Little to fault and much to praise.
